iProspect and Microsoft team up for build-a-bot workshops

Earlier this year, we teamed up with iProspect to host a build-a-bot workshop. With the goal of using Microsoft artificial intelligence to create more innovative solutions, the team was able to create new chatbots during the workshop. While those chatbots created during the workshop were for internal use, they were then able to use those skills and provide the same solution to their clients.
